Popis: Misfolding of superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) is linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Here the authors characterize the unfolding/refolding of single SOD1 molecules using optical tweezers, identifying partially folded intermediates that lead to misfolding after the formation of a native-like core.
